Stitch At the End of the World, a printed needlepoint canvas by Margot de Paris: a weathered wooden pier stretching into a calm sea under a pastel sky with the sun low on the horizon.
A little stitcher's folklore: seaside towns say a walk to the end of the pier and back is the best cure for a busy week. French printed tapestry canvases have been a favorite with stitchers for generations, because the colours are already on the canvas and no chart counting is needed.
Why this canvas: the full-colour print shows exactly where each shade goes, so there is no chart to count and you can simply relax and stitch; it is printed on genuine Zweigart canvas in France, so the mesh stays square and the colours stay crisp from the first stitch to the last; and buying the threads yourself means you choose the look: Colbert wool for a classic tapestry finish, or Mouliné and Pearl cotton for a finer sheen.
Canvas includes: one Zweigart 10-count canvas (100% cotton, 40 holes per 10 cm), designed and printed in France with the design in full colour, and a thread list naming the DMC Mouliné, Colbert wool, Retors and Pearl cotton shades to buy. Stitch used: half stitch. Not included: threads, needle and frame, which are sold separately.
Match each printed colour to the thread list, then cover the canvas in half stitch, working the main shapes first and the background last. Mounting the canvas on stretcher bars or a frame keeps it square, and a tapestry needle size 20 to 22 suits the 10-count mesh.
Canvas size: 60×70 cm (23.6×27.6 in). A large centerpiece project that becomes a statement wall tapestry once framed. It looks at home in a living room, a bedroom or a beach house, and makes a thoughtful gift for sea lovers, travelers and anyone who needs a quiet view.
